Sir—I would not disagree with Dr Ogundipe's view that the way geriatric medicine is integrated into the medical student’s curriculum is the key issue. However, we must recognise that ageism is institutionalised in this country, and hospitals and universities are not exempt from this form of discrimination. There remains a strong view that one way to ensure geriatric medicine continues to get a look-in is to maintain its presence as a distinct part of the curriculum.
